is it of a kelvin value of 2700k? The color temperature?
is it an actual 150watter? Or "equivalent"?

I used 68watt 300"equivalent" compact floros. 2700k.
I used six of those for 1plant & my buds weren't so dense. So it all depends on how big your girl is.

Sure you can, if this is all you can do than thats what you have to do, you wont get very dense buds as godsend said, but the quality will be good if you use good strain.

ya it deff makes a difference on the type of bulb and its basically about how many lumens per sq ft and u gotta make sure it has a kelvin value of 2700k. the higher the wattage the better the lumens and the more area u can cover and like the dude above me said. it depends on how big ur plant is. check out the CFL area of the indoor growing section and read bout florescents theres alot of good info on there

Is that a cfl? A warm light is 2000-3000k so you could flower with it. I'm vegging with 2@ 180w 6500k. 7 plants under them it's a bit over full lol.

Just get more bulbs. You'll be happy you did. You need as many lumens as you can get so the plant has enough light to use to man all her sugars within her cells. Why deprive your plant of something she needs & wants. Spoil her.

the farther it is from blue on the spectrum is better....get the one that is closer to the red side on the spectrum
